1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS) is a rare variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome that is characterised by ataxia, ophthalmoplegia, and areflexia. Its relation with other autoimmune diseases is scarcely found in the literature, and in those few cases, treatment has been especially difficult. We report a case of a 28-year-old woman who presented with ophthalmoplegia and ptosis, later developing facial palsy and hyporeflexia. She had positive GD1a, GT1a, GQ1b antibodies confirming MFS. She also had positive antinuclear and lupus anticoagulant antibodies confirming antiphospholipid syndrome. She had a mild clinical course. MFS can present with multiple autoimmunity; it is unclear if there is cross-reactivity due to myelin damage.
